Ithink ours is way to far out of warranty for that. still investigating the 'Vanos" thing, not sure what all the Symptoms are. But it is always nice when the dealers treat you like they should!, and I will remember to bring the donuts next time I have to go in for service..hehehe

thanks, Missy

OK, swapped out #5 coil (showing misfire) with #2 coil test drove and "happened" to stop by the local import service shop and the nice guys did a total wipe on the codes for me. on the way home drove it hard, and code p1345 popped up (P1345Misfire Cylinder 2 With Fuel Cut-off) so it moved with the coil. hopefully changing the coils fixes our problems ***fingers crossed***

my dealer replaced entire vanos unit under a sort of good will warranty , car was two years out of warranty. Treated like CPO charged me $50 and provided a loaner. Of course the problem will comeback again as the replacement vanos unit has same part number and has not changed.Bringing donuts during any service appointment always pays.

Re: 6-cyl double vanos problem assessment

I have a 325i M54 engine.
I had a slight rattle between 3k RPM. Was planning to change the o rings as outlined in Beisan Systems 6-cylinder Double Vanos Procedure (E46, E39) but know a very long knocking from the vanos.
The engine management light is up , but i need to read the error code.

Can the bearings in the vanos and / or splined shafts (cups) attached to pistons fail ?

Has anybody else had such a problem ?

Any help would be appreciated.
